State of New York Circuit Court of the Circuit } Chenango County, ss:
On this 13 th day of July, 1836 personally appeared in open Court before Robert Monell Esquire, the Vice Chancellor of the Sixth Circuit of the State of New York now sitting at Greene in the County aforesaid and being a Court of Record, Mr. Robert Gallup a resident of Morris in the County of Chenango aforesaid, aged Seventy six  five (75) years and upwards, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832.
That on or about the 1 st of April 1781 - he Enlisted at Grolon, New London County, Connecticut, into the Connecticut troops for the United States Service, for the term of one year, under Captain William Latham who was stationed at Fort Griswold - The Fort was commanded by Col. William Sedyard - Immediately after Enlisting he went into the Fort as one of the soldiers where he was steadily on Service until the attack upon the Fort by the British under Arnold on the 6 th September 1781 - He was in the Engagement from the commencement of the attack until he was disabled by the wounds he received in the Contest - He was near Col. Sedyard when he surrendered his sword and saw the British Officer

Kill him with his own sword, which he had given up to the officer — This declarant was shot by a musket ball in the left knee, and was run through his body under his right breast by a bayonet the scars of which wounds he carries until this day. He lay on the ground in this disabled condition all night until the next morning, when he was taken home to the house of his father Thomas P. Gallup in Groton aforesaid where his wounds were dressed and where he lay until the latter part of February following to be cured of his wounds. About the first of March 1782, he returned to the Fort and was engaged in filling cartridges until the close of his enlistment, being so weak and feeble from his wounds that he could not stand guard or do active service — About the 1 st of April at the expiration of his year he was discharged at the Fort by his Captain Latham, verbally — He was in no other engagement than the one above mentioned, and all his service was in the capacity of a private soldier —
In answer to the interrogatories of the War Department he answers
1. He was born in Groton, County of New London in the State of Connecticut on the 1 st day of February, 1761 — 2 He has no other record of his age than the entries in his father's family Bible which is in possession of his sister Phebe & Betsy Gallup in Montville, Connecticut, New London County.

 3. Where he entered the service he resided in Groton a- foresaid - He lived in New London County at Groton & Mountville, with the exception of three years in New York  but from his birth until 1807, when he removed to Plymouth, Chenango County, New York, where he has resided until December 1834 when he removed to Norwich Village in the Coun- ty aforesaid where he now resides with his son in law —  4. He enlisted as a volunteer as stated in his de- claration above.  5. He does not remember any regular officers who were with the troops where he served - nor Continental or militia Regiments - Nathan Gallup was Colo- nel of the Regiment at Groton while he was in ser- vice, but they were not on duty. The general circum- stances of his service are as stated in his declaration.  6. He received no discharge except a verbal one - as he has stated —  7. He gives the names of General Sherman former U. S. Senator: Hon: Henry Mitchell late M. C. P. Perez Randall County Clerk; John Klapp District Attorney and Post master: Abial Cook Ebenezer Foote, Philander B. Pindle, James Kenhaw, as- persons residing in his neighborhood who know him and who can testify to his character for veracity and their belief of his services as a soldier of the revolution. 
This deponent says he has no documentary Evidence ex- cept the Certificate of the Comptroller of Connecticut which he herewith forwards - and that he has no other testimony which he can procure of his

Service except that of Thomas Griffin who was in the service with him at Fort Griswold and who, he understands is now in the receipt of a pension. His affidavit is herewith sent to the Department.
He also states, in order to account for his long neglect in making this application, that he would with great cheerfulness have done it long ago, but that he supposed until this spring, that he could not draw two pensions: inasmuch as he drew an invalid pension he believed and was told he could not draw any other - but being informed by the Pension Office this spring through the Hon William Mason of the House of Representatives, to the contrary, he immediately commenced procuring his testimony and making his declaration as soon as he can or could.
He would mention that he has been in the receipt of a pension since 1789 for as an invalid - He was transferred from the Connecticut Roll in 1823 to the New York - On 28th December 1833 - he received a certificate for an increase of pension at the rate of $6.00 per month which he is now receiving - He would refer the Department to all his various papers &c on file in the Department.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present (and

The invalid pension of six dollars per month, which he is now receiving) and declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the agency of any State except the State of New York, where he draws his invalid pension —
This deponent further says that there is no Clergyman in his neighborhood who is much acquainted with him, and that the Clergyman in Plymouth his late residence who could and would have certified for him has removed from the County.

Robt. Gallup Supplemental affidavit for Pension June 7. 1832.

State of New York Chenango County, ss:
Robert Gallup of the town of Norwich, Chenango County, New York, being duly sworn, says, that he is the same Robert Gallup who recently applied for a pension under June 7, 1832, before the Vice Chancellor of the 6th Circuit of New York, and in answer to the requirement of the Commissioner of Pensions dated July 20, 1836, says,
1. That he was discharged from the service about April 1, 1782 at Fort Ticonderoga, by Captain Vasham the commanding officer, under whom he enlisted - His discharge was verbal. 2. That the reason he has delayed so long to apply for a pension under this act, is, that, he was told and believed that he could not draw, at the same time, a pension for wounds & disabilities and also one for services: That if he drew one one he must relinquish the other. He made application in June 1832 for an increase of his Invalid Pension which was granted in December 1833, allowing him $72 per annum. As this sum was greater than he could expect to receive for his services, by $32 per annum he was not of course, willing to relinquish his invalid pension of $72 a year for a pension for services of $40. But this last spring, he learned by a letter from J. T. Edwards the Commissioner of Pensions dated April 27, 1836 to the Hon. Com. Mason of the House of Representatives from New York "that if he served not less than six months, he could draw both pensions at the same time." He immediately on receiving this intelligence commenced procuring his testimony for a pension for services and has used all diligence in forwarding his claim, ever since. The substance of the above reasons, this deponent has given, or intended to give in his Declaration. 3. He resided at Groton New London County Connecticut when he was first placed on the pension roll, which was on the 1st Dec r 1788. 4. His first pension certificate is dated Dec: 1. 1788 is signed by Rich d Law Judge of the Superior Court of Connecticut and is for $4.10 per annum lawful money: His pension was afterwards, but the precise time when he does not remember, increased to $24 a year at which it continued until he received his present Invalid pension Certificate which is dated Dec: 28. 1833, to take effect from June 27. 1832: at the date of this certificate he resided in Plymouth, Chenango Co. New York. He has been transferred from Connecticut to the New York A-2

gency and his present certificate is in lieu of one dated 7 Febry 1825 after he was transferred which he sent on to the War Department. —

D. Billings
P.S. Mr. Gallop would be pleased to receive his Certificate as may be confirmed

Conich Dec. 5. 1833.
My dear Sir—
We are looking anxiously for the President's Message & the "demonstrations" which will soon be made, of the course about to be taken by the great parties which divide our population. — Our Gentlemen from New York must feel quite comfortable. — Our State never had a more splendid Delegation, & between Van Buren, Miller, Wright, Falmadge & a host of others, it is certain, the dignity of the 'Empire State' will not be compromised. — These are ominous days, & all the virtue & intelligence of our rulers will be put in requisition to pass us safely over the troubled water. —
Old Mr. Gallop has called & requested me to trouble you with his application to the Pension Department. —
Some considerable time since, he petitioned for an increase of his Pension, on the ground of disability from wounds received in the war of the Revolution. — In answer to my

letter making application for the increase, I received the enclosed letter from J. V. Edwards Esq. with instructions &c. — In compliance with the instructions, Mr. Gallop was examined by Yourself & Doctor Johnson & a Certificate was drawn & signed, by you both, describing the wound, on Mr. Gallop's body, & the degree of disability under which you concurred him to be entitled in consequence of such wound. This document with a Certificate from Benjamin Knowlton Esq. as to the reputation & character of the examining physicians were forwarded to the War Department, since which, not a word has been heard in reference to the application, although several letters have been addressed to the Pension Office, on the subject. — It is possible, there may have been a failure, through the Post Office.
Will you allow me to trouble you in behalf of Mr. Gallop, with this matter? — The reason for the delay, I presume, will be ascertained by calling on Mr. Edwards. —
I am Very truly
Your friend & Servt.
Wm Clapp
Doctor H. Mitchell.
